• Губа не дура
[gu-ba ni du-ra]
SLT: the lip is not a silly girl
🔻This proverb is used to describe someone who knows how to choose the best, most advantageous option for themselves or take advantage of something valuable or useful.
🔻The full proverb is:
• Губа не дура, язык не лопатка: знает, что горько, что сладко.
[gu-ba ni du-ra, yi-zhyk ni la-pat-ka, zna-yet shto go-r'-ka shto slat-ka]
SLT: Lip not a fool, tongue not a shovel, knows what's bitter, what's sweet.
🔻The proverb uses 'губа' (lip) specifically, and not another part of the body, because it is our organ that is primarily responsible for taste.
🔻This is one of the possible similar English equivalents:
Someone knows which side bread is buttered on.
Example:
• Да уж, котик, у тебя губа не дура есть икру лапками!
[da uzh, ko-tik, u ti-bya gu-ba ni du-ra yest' ik-ru lap-ka-mi]
🇬🇧 Yeah, kitty, you know which side bread is buttered on to eat caviar with your paws!
